The Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser (NSW : 1803 - 1842) Thursday 20 September 1838 MR. HENRY WILSHIRE WEBB of Hobart Town, being about to proceed to England, hereby cautions the public against giving credit on his account, or that of MR RICHARD WILSHIRE, late of Sydney. All persons baring claims upon, or who stand indebted to, the above-named individuals, are requested to apply to JOHN MATHWAY BROWN, Esq., Botany, or RICHARD HUNT, Esq., Parramatta, their agents, who are alone empowered to receive monies, and liquidate de- mands, on their behalf.

this is about the time Lydia would have conceived with Henry, who was born 9 months later. Publican: Neptune Inn & Rock Hotel & Wine & Spirit Stores, Hobart Town, VDL

Lou Daniels writes: Henry WEBB (-1854) Neptune, New Wharf, February 1846 to November 1846 Pickwick, Liverpool Street, November 1846 to May 1847 Rock Tavern, Elizabeth Street, February 1849 to May 1849

In February 1846 he took out a license for a new waterfront hotel, the Neptune on the New Wharf. Clearly it was an investment by a wealthy man. In September 1846 his license was renewed. A month later he transferred the license to Charles Lines.

At the same meeting Henry took over the Pickwick in Liverpool Street by transfer from Lewis Prentis. In May 1847 he transferred the house to Abel Stone.

It appears that Mr Stone is a Government Officer, and is consequently precluded from occupying a licensed house at the same time. He undertook to resign his present appointment. Adjourned.

Stone gained his license at the adjourned meeting.

In February 1849 by transfer from William Anderson, Henry Webb took over the Rock Tavern in Elizabeth Street, holding it for three months until the meeting in May 1849, when he transferred the house to John Scurle.

All of these terms as a licensee were primarily the investments of a property owner protecting his investments.

On 3 May 1849 the Britannia &Trades Advocate reported: Webb vs Phipps: This was a Bridgewater Bridge Opening festivity assault case, as testified by the bridge of complainant's nose, which was seriously contused, while the adjacent organs of sight bore mournful testimony to the defendant's application of the laws of dynamics. Mr Brewer appeared for Mr Webb landlord of the Rock Tavern. Mr Wilmot considered the assault proved and fined Phipps 3 pounds and costs.

On 20 November 1854 the Tasmanian Colonist carried this notice: On Thursday 6 July of cholera on board the ship Luina (sic) bound for Australia, Henry Webb, formerly of the Rock Hotel, Hobart Town. Hobart Town Courier 17 November 1854 On Thursday, the 6th of July last of cholera, on board the ship Lima, bound for Australia, Henry Webb, formerly of the Rock Hotel, Hobart Town. can't be 6th July, as the ship didn't leave London until later in the month!

Report of the ship Lima from London 27th Jul 1854 to Falmouth 27th Jul 1854 bound for Hobart Town Vessel details Lima, ship, Master McGregor, Weight 346, Cargo/other pas:15

The Lima, of Dundee, sailed from London for Hobart Town, but put in to Falmouth due to an outbreak of cholera. The disease first appeared on the Sunday, 5 days out from London. The next day, there were three more and on Wednesday, one of the victims died and was buried at sea.

The steamer Avon fell in with her off the Lizard and sailed before her into port. On arrival, a doctor and some assistants went on board and found the entire crew were infected and that three were probably terminal. None of the passengers were infected. It appears that the drinking water was contaminated, but the passengers' water was filtered before use. Source(s): tsg:546 Database reference: e-58537 http:/www.blaxland.com/ozships/events/10994.htm

[CORNISH] weekly Newspaper 11th August, 1854. NEWS. FALMOUTH - We are happy to learn that the cases of cholera last week on board the barque "Lima" which put back, on her outward bound voyage, are all that have occurred. The passengers and crew are all well, and the Captain is going in the ship. There have not been any cases of cholera in Falmouth, excepting amongst those who came in the above name ship, and the seamen had been ill some days before they reached Falmouth.
